Should we allow both strings and object representations of input data in places? #13

          I'm thinking there are a lot of details to think about with input schema. This, but also do we do related relations, as [Hayagriva](https://github.com/typst/hayagriva/blob/main/docs/file-format.md) (which seems well-designed) does?

Aside: I also find it interesting they obviously also struggled with the concision vs correctness issue, and allow both. So authors can be strings.

But I'm thinking to establish the initial basis for conversion, I'm not going to worry about any of this; just figure out enough to render a simple book!

Make sense?
